Everyone immediately looked at her and said proudly: "I once saw Oga Longgu in Fu Wen's camp. That guy Longgu must have been bribed by Fu Wen, and Fu Wen must have ordered him to do it."
Russell frowned and said, "Even if Longgu colluded with Wen Fu, why did Wen Fu instruct Longu to kill Li Jinzhong?"
"That's not easy. Li Jinzhong was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and Fu Wen must want to get rid of him so that the Khitan people can be replaced by a leader who resists the Tang Dynasty." Yan Ran said matter-of-factly.
Du Gu said loudly: "No, I know Long Gu's character very well. Among the eight leaders of the Khitan tribe, no one loves the people of his tribe more than him. He once personally rescued his compatriots who were bitten by poisonous snakes.
I helped him suck the wound and almost died of poisoning."
"You mean he can't be bribed by the Turks?" Wu Chengsi asked.
"Yes, he not only loves the people of his own tribe, but also cares about the people of other tribes. It is impossible for such a person to betray us Khitan people." Du Gu said solemnly.
Wu Chengsi thought for a moment and asked, "What happened next?"
"The incident happened so suddenly that Moro took the opportunity to escape from the tent. Because he gathered his troops first and caught us by surprise before the three of us were ready. We were defeated."
In fact, he lost to Ohmara in a head-on duel, but it was too embarrassing to say it, so he slightly modified the process.
"That is to say, among the eight parts now, there are only three parts left: Dahe Longgu, Dahe Kuli and Dahe Mora." Wu Chengsi's eyes flashed with light.
Du Gu lowered his head and said: "That's the situation. I heard that Moro merged the Fu tribe and the Juebian tribe. Now that the strength has greatly increased, I am afraid that the Kuli tribe and the Longgu tribe will be eliminated by him sooner or later."
Wu Chengsi held his chin and thought for a while, then asked his guards to take Yanran and Fu Nian away, and stared at Dahe Duo Ancient Road:
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I sent troops to the Khitan this time was because of the detainment of the Tang envoy by Mahamaru. Among you Khitan people, it is your own business to decide who should be the leader, but only Moluo can't do it. He must be punished."
Duo Gu was heartened and said hurriedly: "My independent life department will always follow the Tang Dynasty!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Very good, as the pacifying ambassador of Liaodong Road, I will temporarily appoint you as the governor of Songmo and the leader of the Khitan. I will help you request an order from the court, and you can use the name of our court to integrate other
Tribe, I will help you defeat the Great Kamala!"
Duogu was overjoyed and held up his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Envoy." He paused and said, "Envoy, my tribe is controlled by traitors, can you help me take it back first?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. Wei Heng, go and choose a camp, settle in Governor Dahe, and then pass on the order to have all the generals collect their troops and return to the camp."
Wei Heng agreed and took Dahe Duogu out.
An hour later, Hei Te Changzhi and Han Chengdu came back, and Wu Chengsi immediately told the information he had obtained from Dahe Dugu.
Hei Te Changzhi said excitedly: "General, it's exactly what you said. If one of them is crippled, the Khitan people will fall apart!"
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "When things have developed to this point, they have already exceeded my budget. But having said that, Li Jinzhong's death is actually a good opportunity for us."
Russell said coldly: "Yes, with Li Jinzhong here, it's hard for us to trick them. Now that Li Jinzhong is dead, they have civil strife again. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire!"
Han Cheng sighed: "I just didn't expect that the Li tribe was so tenacious and its foundation was destroyed by us, but it could actually win the civil war and become stronger again."
Russell said coldly: "The main force of the Li tribe must have suffered heavy losses in the battle with the other three tribes. Although the Fubu and Juebian tribes have been gathered now, they are just a mob. They can be defeated in one battle."
Wu Chengsi glanced at Russell and said: "General Luo Lang, do you think we should attack Dahemaro directly?"
Russell said repeatedly: "I don't dare, General. I will loyally support all your decisions, General. However, I feel that many of what He Dugu just said are lies."
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "I also know that he is lying, so what does it matter? Don't forget the main purpose of our march to Khitan this time."
Russell understood that his general wanted to plunge the Khitans into continuous civil war and thereby weaken the Khitans, but he felt that there was a better way.
"If we defeat Hemoluo and directly seize all the Khitan territory, wouldn't it be better? If we support Heduogu, he will have dissent sooner or later." Russell expressed his thoughts bluntly.
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "General Luo Lang, even if our Tang army defeats the troops of Da Hemoluo, we will not be able to occupy this place for a long time. This is grassland and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of other nomadic tribes."
Russell was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was still thinking about things with Turkic thinking. The Tang Dynasty was a farming country, and the grasslands were not suitable for their survival.
Han Cheng said: "General, can't we build cities and cultivate fields?"
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "Some things cannot be accomplished overnight. The country's manpower and material resources are limited. Compared with the Khitan land, which is all grassland, the Koryo Kingdom is more suitable for our development. It is a mixed agricultural and pastoral area. When we first remove the Koryo Kingdom
Only after the territory is added to our dynasty can we develop towards the Khitan grassland."
Han Cheng was startled and finally understood why the imperial court kept attacking Goryeo.
Hei Te Changzhi said loudly: "General, what should we do next?"
Wu Chengsi pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Let's do it step by step. The first step is to help Dahe Dugu regain his tribe."
…
In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Chengsi sent Hei Te Changzhi to lead five thousand cavalry to help Dahe Dugu regain the tribe.
Under the leadership of Dahe Duogu, the Tang army came to a grassland near the water. Dahe Duogu pointed ahead and said:
"General Black Teeth, that is my tribe. The number of rebels does not exceed three thousand. After you escort me there, just tell them that I was named the Governor of Songmo by the Tang Dynasty. I believe they will surrender to me again."
Hei Te Changzhi said coldly: "No. Since they have betrayed you once, they must establish their power and defeat them once. Wait until they surrender before subduing them. Only in this way will these people obey you. Otherwise, they may attack you at any time in the future.
Rebel on the battlefield!”
Dahe Duogu was stunned for a moment and whispered: "You... are right."
Hei Te Changzhi waved his big hand and roared: "Brothers, charge with me!" He took the lead and galloped forward. Dahe Dugu followed hurriedly along with other Tang troops.
…
The golden crow sets in the west, and the afterglow gradually fades away.
At this time, the herdsmen were returning to their tribes with their cattle and sheep, but the Khitan tribe on the west bank of the Sangzi River was engaged in a bloody fight.
The two sides fighting were the resistance army composed of Khitan herdsmen and the invading army from the north.
The battle lasted for more than two hours, and the resistance army was defeated by the invaders. The people of the Khitan tribe will become slaves of the invaders.
The invaders were cleaning the battlefield, and the largest tent in the tribe was chosen by the leader of the invaders as his tent.
In the tooth tent, sitting on the upper hand is a burly man wearing colorful beads. He is the leader of the invaders, Zhiku, the chief leader of the Shiwei tribe.
While chewing the leg of lamb, Tiku laughed and said, "Dougan, what you said is indeed true. We Shiwei people have not eaten cattle and sheep stolen from the Khitan people for decades!"
After chewing a few mouthfuls, he drank heavily from a wine glass made of cow bones. Because the gap in the wine glass was too wide, only half of the wine went into his mouth, and the rest was spilled.
A man sitting on the left side of the Tiku smiled and said: "Big leader, defeating the Khitans is nothing, we still have to seize their grassland."
This man's name is Zhang Yan Dougan. He is less than forty years old and has extremely bright eyes.
He was the best speaker of Tang in Shiwei, and his brains were far superior to others, so he was called the wisest man in Shiwei. It was he who taught Shiku the Tang language.
When the other generals heard his words, they all cheered loudly.
Zhiku frowned and said: "I heard that three days ago, the Tang people consecrated He Duogu as the governor of Songmo and sent troops to help him retake the tribe. I'm afraid the Tang people will not allow us to occupy the Khitan grasslands."
Zhang Yan Dougan smiled and said: "Don't worry, chief. The Tang people will leave sooner or later. After this civil strife, the Khitan people are no longer as powerful as us. After the Tang people leave, we can quietly encroach on the Khitan people's land, just like they did before."
